This video demonstrates how to mark the cornea prior to implantation of the
Alcon AcrySof toric IOL. With the patient sitting upright and looking at a
distance target, marks are first placed at the 3:00 and 9:00 positions using
a Blakewell BubbleLevel. In the operating room and under the operating microscope,
a Gimbel/Mendez fixation ring is aligned with the reference marks. Note that
with the patient recumbent, there is about 10° of excyclotorsion. The implantation axis (24°) and the location of the incision (155°)
are marked with the Boris Meridian Marker. All of the instruments shown are
from Mastel Precision (no financial interest).
